1950 Bentley MK VI Special

A handsome Special built on the Bentley Mk VI chassis, this car boasts an elegant alloy body crafted by a renowned UK-based specialist fabricator.

Its engine is a rebuilt Bentley 4.25-litre straight-six, coupled to a four-speed manual transmission.

Delivered in May 1950 to Dr Georg Tugendhat - grandfather of Tom Tugendhat MP - in London, this Mk VI later went to the US, before being discovered and repatriated in 2013.

Its conversion to a custom Special was carried out between 2013 and 2016, when the car was also mechanically restored by a retired Bentley-trained engineer.

Since completion the Special has been used for European touring, including a trip to the Le Mans Classic in 2018, and also featured in the track show at Carfest South in 2018.
